It only says "you must also _offer_ to recipients" (my emphasis), not  
"you must provide in case anyone wants it" - it's like the GPL in  
that regard. So you don't have to upload a new dump of the whole  
derivative db (or a diff of your changes) every time you update with  
a minute diff; you could simply write "e-mail me here for a copy" and  
supply it on demand.
